Geitoneura is a genus of nymphalid butterflies, commonly known as xenicas. The genus contains three species.
Eagle is the common name for the golden eagle, bald eagle, and other birds of prey in the family Accipitridae. Eagles belong to several groups of genera, some of which are closely related. True eagles comprise the genus Aquila. Most of the 68 species of eagles are from Eurasia and Africa. Outside this area, just 14 species can be found—two in North America, nine in Central and South America, and three in Australia.
In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature, also called binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name, a binomen, binominal name, or a scientific name; more informally it is also historically called a Latin name. In the ICZN, the system is also called binominal nomenclature, "binomi'N'al" with an "N" before the "al", which is not a typographic error, meaning "two-name naming system".
Lantana is a genus of about 150 species of perennial flowering plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. They are native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa but exist as an introduced species in numerous areas, especially in the Australian-Pacific region, South and Northeastern part of India. The genus includes both herbaceous plants and shrubs growing to 0.5–2 m (1.6–6.6 ft) tall. Their common names are shrub verbenas or lantanas. The generic name originated in Late Latin, where it refers to the unrelated Viburnum lantana.
Fundulus is a genus of ray-finned fishes in the superfamily Funduloidea, family Fundulidae. It belongs to the order of toothcarps (Cyprinodontiformes), and therein the large suborder Cyprinodontoidei. Most of its closest living relatives are egg-laying, with the notable exception of the splitfin livebearers (Goodeidae).
Hypocystina is a subtribe of butterflies.
The Satyrini is one of the tribes of the subfamily Satyrinae. It includes about 2200 species and is therefore the largest tribe in the subfamily which comprises 2500 species.
Gnathophis is a genus of marine congrid eels.
Geitoneura klugii, the common xenica or Klug's xenica, is a species of butterfly belonging to the family Nymphalidae. It is a southern Australian butterfly that is easily camouflaged because of its resemblance to the ground where it is usually found fluttering. It has a wingspan of about 38 millimetres (1.5 in). The upper and lower side of the forewing is black with brownish-black markings and contains a black spot with a white centre. The orange hindwing is set off by a black border and a black-rimmed eyespot. The underside of the hindwing ranges from grey to brown and consists of darker markings.
Leucosyrinx is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae.
Geitoneura acantha, the ringed xenica or eastern ringed xenica, is a species of butterfly belonging to the family Nymphalidae. The species was first described by Edward Donovan as Papilio acantha in 1805. It occurs in the south-eastern mainland of Australia.
Geitoneura minyas, the western xenica, is a species of butterfly from the family Nymphalidae, found in the south-west of the Australian state of Western Australia.
Neamia is a genus of cardinalfishes native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Gnathophis xenica is an eel in the family Congridae. It was described by Kiyomatsu Matsubara and Akira Ochiai in 1951, originally as a subspecies of Arisoma nystromi. It is a marine, temperate water-dwelling eel which is known from Japan, in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Males can reach a maximum total length of 32 centimeters.
The common slope dragonet is a species of slope dragonet native to the Indo-Pacific region where it can be found from Africa to the Hawaiian Islands. It is a benthic fish, occurring on sandy bottoms at the edges of the continental shelves at depths of from 138 to 367 metres. This species grows to a length of 9 centimetres (3.5 in) SL. This species is the only known member of its genus.
Leucosyrinx xenica is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.
Lepadella is a genus of rotifers belonging to the family Lepadellidae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution
Cavolinia is a genus of gastropods belonging to the family Cavoliniidae.
